Question

QUESTION 1

	a.	repeated measures are made on the same subjects
	b.	both groups consist of males
	c.	both groups consist of 8th grade pupils
	d.	any of the above is true

QUESTION 2

Observations are dependent when

	a.	the same subjects have been used for both sets of observations
	b.	subjects have been matched on some variable related to the varialbe observed
	c.	either of the above is true
	d.	the mean of X equals the mean of Y

QUESTION 3

The test between two dependent means requires that one must take special account of

	a.	the assumption of normality
	b.	the correlation between the two sets of measures
	c.	the standard deviation of the two variables
	d.	the case of equal sample size

QUESTION 4

Using paired observations (dependent observations) is most advantageous when

	a.	sample size is unequal
	b.	standard deviations must be estimated from samples

	a.	58
	b.	28
	c.	59
	d.	29

QUESTION 6

We plan to use the direct-difference mehtod to test Ho: μ1- μ2 = 0 for a sample of 10 matched pairs. Once the D scores are computed, the procedure is identical to that for testing a hypothesis about

	a.	a single mean
	b.	the difference between two independent means
	c.	the difference between two dependent means
	d.	None of the above
